National Senior Honor Society

The National Senior Honor Society signifies excellence in all phases of personal development. Each year outstanding members of the junior and senior classes who have a 3.33 academic average are inducted after a careful screening process, which includes faculty approval. Once inducted, they must uphold high standards of community service as well as academic performance. Freshman and Sophomores should plan on maintaining stellar academic performance and participation in extra curricular activities so that they will qualify when they apply for membership.
